iPhone 15 Pro Max Earpiece speaker issue...

[nutsjul]

Is anyone encountering a rattling or crackling noise from the earpiece speaker of the iPhone 15 Pro Max at nearly maximum volume (around 80%)? This issue seems to occur with specific sounds or certain videos, as discussed in a Reddit thread I came across.

This thread

In the discussion, a user mentioned that they tested all iPhone 15 models and found that they all exhibited this problem. Has anyone else encountered this issue? Let's hope it's a software-related problem.

Hi, I've also discovered that there is a crackling sound coming out the top speaker when I play certain songs that have a high frequency tone playing. Only then is the crackling sound activated. Let's hope MacRumors helps us by writing some amazing forums that indicates they are listening to their followers. This may get Apple's attention and they can start working on a fix for this speaker issue.

I’m noticing crackle on the Chalet ringtone. Unless it’s supposed to have that scratchy retro phonograph sound which maybe it does. Can anyone try that ring tone and report back? If I try other ring tones I don’t hear the crackling.

Update: tried the Chalet ringtone on my iPad Pro and it crackles too. I think it’s intentional on this specific ringtone. Like a retro photograph effect. Phew.

Same issue here as well, I would very much appreciate to hear from sound engineers.

This issue seems to be very complex.
